Amplification and detection of lentiviral DNA inside cells.
1 Jul 1990
Abstract excerpt
Visna virus and human immunodeficiency virus are prototypes of animal and human lentiviruses, respectively, that persist and are disseminated despite the host immune response because cells in the tissues and the bloodstream harbor viral genomes in a covert state. To facilitate identification of these latently infected cells, the polymerase chain reaction has been adapted to amplify viral DNA in fixed cells for...
